This Evaporative Air Cooler, Humidifier, and Fan is versatile, lightweight and economical. The Cooler easily rolls from room to room for use anywhere in your house or office. This Air Cooler shoots a stream of air with oscillating louvers, to evenly distribute refreshing cool air. Can also be used as a fan or humidifier if temperature is not an issue. - plus get the air cleaning benefits of the ionic air purifier. The remote control allows you to easily change settings. The Air Cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat), so this evaporative Air Cooler sucks air through a wick saturated with water. As the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat that was in the air. An air stream is then blown out the front of the unit and is considerably cooler than the current room temperature! This is not an air conditioner and therefore uses much less energy. The unit works well in dry climates; not very effective in areas with high humidity as the unit utilizes water to cool.

Stay away from this one!:
I paid way too much for this unit at a retail store. It leaks, you cannot see the water level line, it is awkward to fill, and is basically nothing more than a really bad fan. Invest your money into a stand up, oscillating fan that really moves air!
Best used as a personal cooler:
As I type this, it's 103 outside with 29% humidity. Inside, without the central air conditioner running, it's 102 and 30% humidity. I filled up this gizmo, turned it on, and the air coming out the front of the unit is 91 with 45% humidity. Since this cooler works by the phase-change of water into gas, you'll need to open your windows and let the air circulate so the humidity doesn't build up to the point where you're in a sauna and start to sweat like--um--someone who's in a sauna. It won't cool... more info
Not as bad as people say.:
I bought this cooler about 10 days ago, due to the temperatures here were up to 90 and running my A/C in the house is expensive. I didn't expect my whole area to cool down since it is very large, but wanted something I can point toward the seating area to be semi comfortable. It has done exactly what I wanted it to do, sitting in front of the cooler the temperatures are good and I only use my A/C for about 2 hours in the later evening when the temps peak. I fill mine with ice and some water, as the ice... more info
Not what I expected:
I didn't buy this product from Amazon, but thought it was so bad I should warn people. Like other previous reviews state, this product is little more than an over sized fan. I have another swamp cooler from a different manufacturer, and it actually cools, but this one is literally no different from my normal cheap circular fan, just louder. Except my fan doesn't leak water all over my floor. This swamp cooler came with a hairline crack at one of the wheels, obviously some kind of design flaw. It's not the... more info
